While flying the BT, I have Num Lock off, select Ctrl + 8(num pad), and haveee the bombardier view; but the BT goes into an immediate nose dive: Any comments or ideas? Thanks, Edd1

I just experimented a bit, and I think the answer is in letting go of both the Ctrl and number pad 8 key together, or nearly so. The reason is, of course, that with Num Lock off, the normal function of the 8 key is down elevator. If you never use the keyboard for control surface commands, you could always go into the Control Assignments menu and change that key function, but I think it's really just a matter of timing and practice should minimize the dive. Let me know how you make out. Bill Rambow MAAM-SIM - Rambow, Visser, Banting, and Younghttp://www.fssupport.com/maam_sim/maamsim_logo.gif

Thanks, and I will. Edd1
